That's a good thing...but I noticed that the page you directed me to
above was just created a few weeks ago, May 30th, 2016. My point was
while people may well be working on it, most people don't know
anything about it
It used to be called xdg-app, so the flatpak name is pretty new.
- whereas snappy has been getting alot of press. Granted, it
formally was Ubuntu specific - but say what you want about Ubuntu,
they do a great job on marketing their brand. Flatpak may well be
superior and "better positioned" - however, unless people start
discussing it and marketing it - that won't make a difference and
we'll have a situation where the vast majority of applications are
packaged for snappy and not Flatpak. Is that a bad thing? I don't
know - but it is usually the way things end up. Just an observation.
Well, we are discussing it now. ;)
